Gang, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in garbagereceptacles. The object of our invention is to provide a garbage canortsuch construction that the garbage or refuse deposited in the same willbe allowed to drip or drain itself into the lower part or receptacle ofthe vessel.

Furthermore, the ob ect of this invention is to provide a receptacle forgarbage c0mprising a main body can having a perforated bottom and aremovable base for receiving the liquid and also for supporting adisinfectant receptacle in order that the fumes will pass up through theopenings in the bottom of the main can and will permeate the contents toprevent putrefaction and will keep the atmosphere surrounding such canand the contents of the can at all times in a sanitary condition.

Finally, the object of the invention is to provide a can comprising anupper and lower section and means'for locking said sections together andfurthermore to provide a receptacle to contain the disinfectant having acover provided with openings therein and means for closing the openingswhen it is desired to remove the liquid from the lower section of thegarbage can.

i Vith the foregoing and other objects in View, the invention consistsin the details of construction, and in the. arrangement and combinationof parts hereinafter more fully set forth and described and moreparticularly pointed out in the claim..

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to theaccompanying drawings, forming part of the specification wherein likecharacters denote corresponding parts in the several Views and in whichFigure 1, is a perspective view in elevation showingourimproved garbagecan, Fig. 2, is a vertical section of the'same, ig. 3, is an end view ofthe bottom of the upper section showing the perforationsand the lockingplates, Fig. i, is a view of the bottom secof the main receptacle andtion showing'the disinfectantreceptacle in position therein.

In the drawings 1 indicates the main receptacle and '2 the lowerreceptacle, or base. The main receptacle-is provided with a removablecover 3 having a handle e. Upon each side or the can we provide handles5'5 by which the garbage can may be lifted, or carried, from place toplace, as desired. l fe also provide the main receptacle with verticalcorrugated protectors 6 which are secured by any suitable means to theoutside per and lower edges we provide strengthen ing ribs 7-7 whichextend around the can. The strengthening rib is formed at the upper endby having the body portion of the receptacle bent back upon itself whichprovides not only a strengthening rib, but also means to prevent the canfrom cutting or in any way liable handling the can. The main receptacleis also provided with a flange 8 which extends below the bottom of thecan, as shown in Fig. 2. V? e provide the base with handles 99 locatedupon each side of the base and on the inside flanges 1010 which aresecured to the inside or" the base at diametrically opposite positionsto each other. Said flanges provide means for supporting a rectangularshaped disinfect-ant receptacle 11. it is to be noted that the flangesdo not extend the full depth of the base but terminate approximatelyintermediate the top and bottom of the base. We provide the rectangularshaped receptacle 11 with a cover 12 having apertures in the centralportion thereof and over which a disk 18 having around the up-'.

to cause injury to the person apertures Pi -1 ais pivotally connected to7 the lid. This pr vides means for closing the apertures in the main lidof the rece tacle when it is desired to remove itor when the base is tobetipped over that the liquid may discharge from the base withoutdischarging the contents of the disinfectant rcceptacle. We also providemeans. for looking the top and bottom sections together. Said meanscomprises plates i5-15 which are secured atone end to the bottom of. themain receptacle by any suitable means. The plates are secured atopposite ends to the bottom and the free ends extend in oppositedirections to each other.

We secure to the sides of the bottom receptacle inverted reshaped arms16-46 var-M which are adapted to enter between the bottom of the mainreceptacle and the free ends of the lates 15-15 secured thereon. Theinverte L-shaped arms enter on opposite sides of these plates and whenthe main receptacle is placed upon the base,the base telescopes theflange portion of the main receptacle and by a mere twist of either thebase or the maln rece tacle, the L-shaped arms contact, or enter t espace between the plate and the bottom and thereby lock the two sectionsof the can together.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters-Patent, is:

In a garbage can. of the character described, a main receptacle providedwith a perforated bottom a removable base adapted to be secured on themain receptacle, sup ports secured upon the inner sides of said base, adisinfectant receptacle provided with a rotary disk shaped cover adaptedto be secured upon said supports substantially as described.
